For a thicker marmalade, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or a few slices of apple during cooking. If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to 2.5 pounds. Ensure your fruit is fresh and ripe for the best flavor. If you have any leftover citrus peels, you can use them to infuse flavor in teas or other recipes.
